Topic: Swedish Polar Bear (Read 1075 times)

We collect not only glass dogs, but also polar bears - here's the latest addition:Click on images for larger view.

The dimensions are about 50 mm (belly) x 135 mm (nose-to-tail) and 100 mm high; the weight is 600 g. It carries a silver-metallic sticker - with all colour gone - barely readable by the indentation only. There is a large capital R in the middle; the text below reads clearly Sweden; the text above, likely the glass studio, has unfortunately been bent several times and is indistinguishable.

Does anyone recognise the R logo? I have tried to outline it in the last picture.

I love the polar bear, it's just gorgeous. I am :mrgreen: with envy, Wolf.I am not sure when they date to. I haven't really looked in to that particular factory. Maybe I should
